November 5, 201213 yr Author Midweek Charts: Robbie aiming for first chart-topping double in decade Source: MW Paul Willams Robbie Williams is looking to simultaneously lead the UK singles and albums markets for the first time since 2001 with Candy and Take The Crown taking charge of the midweeks. Following its release this week, the singer's first Island album Take The Crown has taken a commanding lead on artist albums with nearly 50,000 copies sold by the end of busy on Tuesday, according to the Official Charts Company. That is nearly double sales of closest challenger, the newly-issued Decca set Magic Of The Movies by Andre Rieu and the Johann Straus Orchestra. At the same time Williams' single Candy, which debuted at No 1 last Sunday, has a narrow lead at the top of the singles market with Syco act Labrinth's Beneath Your Beautiful featuring Emeli Sande in second place around 7,800 sales behind. If Take The Crown and Candy can hold on it will place the former Take That star at the top of both main sales charts at the same time since December 2001 when Swing When You're Winning led albums and his Nicole Kidman duet Somethin' Stupid headed singles. Take The Crown will also become his 10th albums chart-topper, overtaking Michael Jackson and putting him only behind The Beatles (15), Madonna (12) and Elvis Presley (11). Williams and Rieu lead a busy week for new albums with six of the top eight sellers new releases. They include JLS whose RCA-issued Evolution registers at 3, while Rieu is joined by Decca colleagues Military Wives whose second album Stonger Together is 5. Their first album In My Dreams topped the chart earlier this year. Former Radio 1 breakfast show host Chris Moyles could be heading for the Top 10 for the first time with his Mercury set The Diffiuclt Second Album new at 7 at this stage of the week. His first release, The Parody Album, reached 17 in 2009. The new album is more than 1,000 sales ahead of Music From Another Dimension, the first studio set since March 2004 by Columbia's Aerosmith who are looking to crack the UK Top 10 for the first time since 2001 when Just PushPlay reached 7. Aerosmith's Columbia colleague Calvin Harris is down to 4 in the midweeks having debuted at 1 last Sunday with 18 Months, while Virgin's Emeli Sande drops 3-6 with Our Version Of Events, Kylie Minogue's Parlophone set The Abbey Road Sessions slips 2-9 and the Syco-issued Together by Jonathan & Charlotte climbs 15-10 with sales up 441% following the screening of an ITV1 documentary about them. A third Decca album looks set for a Top 20 debut with Andrea Bocelli's Opera at 13 on Sales Flashes, while other chart entries this weekend will include new studio sets from Def Jam/Mercury's Ne-Yo, Mercury's Kristina Train and Columbia's Manic Street Preachers with a 20th anniversary re-issue of their first album Generation Terrorists. The X Factor continues to have a big impact on the singles market with Columbia/Roc Nation act Rita Ora's Shine Ya Light leaping 47-8 on midweeks after she performed it on the results show last Sunday, while her album Ora rises 44-17 with sales up 366%. There was also a performace from No Doubt, but this is having far less of a commercial reaction with the track they performed, Looking Hot, not registering in the midweeks and its parent Interscope/Polydor album Push And Shove quietly re-entering at 107. Instead their back catalogue has a better pick-up with retrospective The Singles 1992-2003 returning at 60 and former chart-topper Don't Speak at 42 on midweek singles. This was performed on last Saturday's The X Factor by contestant James Arthur. Other tracks covered by the programme's contestants last weekend are also doing well, including Atlantic act Jason Mraz's I Won't Give Up (performed by Kye Sones) and the RCA-handled Listen by Beyonce (Jahmene Douglas). The Mraz track climbs 67-17 with sales up 510% and Listen re-enters at 27. Global Talent/Island's The Wanted are heading for a seventh Top 10 single with I Found You new at 3 in the midweeks, while XL act Adele's Skyfall climbs 5-4 to swap places with the Virgin track Don't You Worry Child by Swedish House Mafia featuring John Martin. Relentless act Misha B's second single Do You Think Of Me is new at 6 at this stage of the week as the One More Tune/Warner Bros-issued Can You Hear Me (Ayayaya) by Wiley with Skepta, JME and Ms D drops 3-7. Behind Rita Ora, Island's PSY falls 7-9 with Gangnam Style and Mercury's Sub Focus is heading for his highest-charting track with Tidal Wae featuring Alpines debuting at 10. Other new arrivals to Sunday's chart will include RCA act Christina Aguilera's Your Body and the Play Hard-issued Zimzimma by Sneakbo.

November 5, 201213 yr Author Midweek Charts update: Rieu, Military Wives, Bocelli in Decca charge Source: MW Paul Willams Decca is looking to place three brand new albums in this weekend's UK Top 10 with Andre Rieu, Military Wives and Andrea Bocelli all in contention. Rieu's newly-issued Magic Of The Movies with the Johann Strauss Orchestra is No 2 in the latest midweeks, behind Williams' Island debut Take The Crown but ahead of RCA's new JLS album Evolution at 3, according to the Official Charts Company. The Dutch violinist, conductor and composer is joined among the Top 10 artist sellers by Decca colleagues Military Wives whose second album Stronger Together crops up as a new entry at 5, while a third new Decca album - Opera by Andrea Bocelli - was by the end of business on Thursday fewer than 300 sales short of breaking into the 10. Bocelli's album has every chance of making the Top 10 by the time the week's full chart is published on Sunday as it has been growing in stature as the week has progressed. In the first midweek chart published on Tuesday it was a new entry at 15 and is now up to 11. New albums from former Radio 1 breakfast host and Mercury signing Chris Moyles and Columbia's Aerosmith are also among the Top 10 sellers in the week so far, while Robbie Williams continues to lead singles. Candy, which debuted at 1 last Sunday, has an 11% lead over the rest of the market with Syco's Labrinth at 2 with Beneath Your Beautiful featuring Emeli Sande. Global Talent/Island's The Wanted are new at 3 with I Found You, while the Top 10 also includes Syco act Misha B's Do Yo Think Of Me new at 7 and Columbia/Roc Nation's Rita Ora climbing 47-8 with Shine Ya Light following its performance on The X Factor last Sunday.

November 5, 201213 yr Bloody hell! At work today JLS outsold Robbie hands down [i work for a large music retailer - I wonder who that can be!] - Really shocked by how well JLS started off im just hoping that is was all the teen fans wanting it on day of release and the Robbie sales will kick in and appeal to the weekend market!
November 6, 201213 yr I would say that Robbie should win out in the end, though he's not the download no1 anyway - maybe he will struggle to beat 150k in sales which after the success of the single would be a disappointment!
November 6, 201213 yr The official Simply Red/Mick Hucknall page has just been told off :lol: Mick Hucknall HQ @SimplyRedHQ UK Album Chart Entry #6 American Soul.. Hey You!! THANK YOU!!! :-)Official Charts @officialcharts @SimplyRedHQ Hi, please note Official Chart embargo time is strictly Sundays 7pm, midweeks Wednesday 4.30pm.
November 6, 201213 yr I dont think Robbie has any worries, i wouldnt be surprised if JLS ended up number 3 or 4.
November 6, 201213 yr Sales will be interesting this week - with Candy still ahead of BYB does that mean both sales have fallen or are they both going to be plus 100k again?
November 6, 201213 yr Sales will be interesting this week - with Candy still ahead of BYB does that mean both sales have fallen or are they both going to be plus 100k again? Noone knows yet, or was that a rhetorical question? :lol: I'd assume (judging by Labrinth's fairly small slump last week) that they'll both still be selling pretty strongly. Maybe around 100k for Robbie as he's got an album track added now and about 90k for Labrinth?
November 6, 201213 yr Misha B almost Top 5 - Just think what it could have done with an XF performance!! https://twitter.com/PlugPlayPromo/status/265767193562710016 Plug & Play Promo @PlugPlayPromo Misha B (@iamMishaB) is currently #6 in the midweek charts... Only 88 copies behind #5. Keep supporting and grab... Edited November 6, 201213 yr by Pop B!tch
November 6, 201213 yr So if Misha is at #6 im guessing Rita is just behind at #7? TomThorogood @TomThorogood Interesting that Misha B is ahead of Rita Ora in midweeks, despite the big X Factor performance. Could still catch her before Sunday though https://twitter.com/TomThorogood/status/265777778824192000
November 6, 201213 yr JLS are not doing very well on itunes compare to robbie, i think jls will sell around 30 - 40k if lucky!!
November 6, 201213 yr Noone knows yet, or was that a rhetorical question? :lol: I'd assume (judging by Labrinth's fairly small slump last week) that they'll both still be selling pretty strongly. Maybe around 100k for Robbie as he's got an album track added now and about 90k for Labrinth? Yeah of course i dont knoiw - just interesting to see how Labs sales hold up and how far Robbie falls, if both are above 100k still it will be great. Although id rather robbie sells loads of his album tbh!!
November 6, 201213 yr Assume/hope the first update'll go Robbie-Labrinth-The Wanted, I don't imagine The Wanted sold THAT many EPs to put them at #1 after two days. Great to see Misha B entering at #6, and only 88 copies behind Wiley (the most likely #5); hopefully she can make that up during the week. Album-wise, JLS beat Robbie Williams the last time they had a chart battle, this time I can't imagine they'll win again. 'Hottest Girl in the World' hasn't done too well, especially compared to 'Candy', and come the weekend; Williams' album will have sold near to 100k I imagine; can't see JLS selling that.
November 6, 201213 yr Manic Street Preachers 'Generation Terrorists' re-issue at #22 ManicStreetPreachers @ManicsPostcards G.T.reissue 22 on the official chart midweeks-brilliant-archive came good-need to make more of the deluxe boxes-they flew out xAcid Jazz Records @acidjazzrecs Acid Jazz back in the top 100 with our 25th anniversary Box Set charting at 79 on the midweek chart! keep it going... Edited November 6, 201213 yr by Pop B!tch
November 6, 201213 yr The official Simply Red/Mick Hucknall page has just been told off :lol: Why would he be told off, didn't his album reach #6 last week, so surely he shouldn't be moaned at lol? It looks like The Official Charts Company have yet again got it wrong.
November 6, 201213 yr Vash PlayHard @VashPlayHard Sneakbo Zim Zimma is 24 in the midweeks charts. Huge f**k up by official charts company made him show at 68 but were fixing it now kmt https://twitter.com/VashPlayHard/status/265809143028408320
November 6, 201213 yr If this isn't at least a half decent opening (50k or so) for JLS, then they're in a lot of trouble. Either way, they won't get anywhere Robbie, its funny that the last time, they went head to head, this was almost looking like the other way round. (not that Robbie was in any real trouble then :P )
